A clear and quick guide to installing a Ryzen CPU and the stock heatsink/fan/cooler supplied with many AM4/Ryzen CPU's. Please note the procedure for installation is the same on AM4 and AM5 motherboards, both have an identical design. AM4 coolers can be used on AM5 boards too. The only difference is the AM5 CPUs are using LGA (landing grip array) compared to the AM4 pins which are present on the CPU.
The AMD Wraith coolers come boxed with many CPU's but require the brackets to be removed from the motherboard to fit the cooler which screws directly to the back plate. I show you how to install the CPU and the AMD stock cooler.

Spot on dude. Thanks for not flapping about for ten minutes and just getting the job done
No worries I can't stand the padded out how to videos either ;-)
Mr Baz Reviews I have to say this is the best install video I’ve seen, how do you not have more subscribers!!?! Thank you so much man
AMD didn't even show how to install the included cooler, the only somewhat confusing part
I guess it is kinda off topic but do anyone know a good site to stream new tv shows online ?
@Cesar Bentley Lately I have been using Flixzone. You can find it by googling :)
Thanks so much! Just in case you guys didn't know, if you are trying to replace a cpu, the back plate can fall down without you knowing so you have to take off the side panel!
Great tip!
That's what I was struggling with in fact.
Life saver
love you
thank you bro
"can't over-tighten" Thanks, those were the magic words I was looking for, just like the half a million other people who were afraid to hear "CRACK" and smelling burnt silica on-1st-boot.
Dude I spend like 2 hours thinking about the screws. You just said that I can't over tighten you are the best.
I used a drill and i over tightened it literally cannot unscrew
@@BUHDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Does it still turn though while not unscrewing? If so, hold a fingernail under the cap of the screw while **slowly** unscrewing it.
Worth a shot if you ever need it to get unstuck.
I need the same tutorial but for removal😂 they turn in place but none is getting any looser
@@glacialimpala Try putting your fingernail under the head of the screw. Or a very thin screwdriver (not recommended as it can scratch the soldering meant to ground the screwholes)
The most pain in the ass to install cooler I've ever come across with. Thanks.
It's not the best design!
@@MrBazReviews Yes, Intel has lot better cooling designs. AMD makes better processors but a lot crappier cooling mounts.
@@MrBazReviews i cant get it screwed in
@@eastantalley830 Hold back plate in place, push down the screws they are spring loaded
@@eastantalley830 me too
Never seen a tutorial like this. Fast, smart, efficient. Whole process under 2 minutes and I know everything i want to. That's an instant subscribe
I'm not into the padded out videos some bash out, just get on with it I say lol! Thanks for dropping in appreciate the comment
Thank you for actually explaining it and not just playing music and not telling when to stop tightening the screw love it dude. Deserves a sub
Lol I'm not into padding out videos. Thanks for the comment sub appreciated
Thanks. I think I need to tighten my cooler more, not sure I've got higher temps than expected. I found the back plate + spring loaded really tricky to install, so knowing that I can't overtighten is golden to hear.
Glad it helped
Peace of mind wrapped up into 1 min 55 Seconds. Thank you!!
Exactly! And you didn't have 10 minutes of padding to try to get more ad revenue ;-D
Thank you sir! Heard a noise a half hour ago. Didn’t realize it was the back plate!! Lol
It is the back plate!
For those of you having a very hard time fitting the spring, I've spent hours trying to fit it just to figure out that my motherboard or the cooler itself had a back piece (mounted on the back of the motherboard) to fit the screws better. I'd advice to call someone to hold backplate while another person screws (don't be afraid to push it). Hope it helps someone!
Yes that is shown holding the plate is a requirement!
Thank you so much. I spent like an hour trying to get the screws in before Googling. This tip worked perfectly
This comment helped me stop Trying for an hour
This!
Spent an hour trying to figure out how to do this. Thanks a ton!
Take the mobo off, hold the back plate! Thx a bunch!!!
You saved my life. Even if there are possible problems that you didn't cover in the video, you explained everything else that had to be explained right in the comments.
Thank you very much, living legend 🙏
The only problems are if you are using a bad mobo maker ;-D This fits super easy on Gigabyte boards ultra fast no issues
Probably the worst design for a cpu fan in my opinion. At least in terms of modern fans.
Def room for some improvement so I'd agree on that one
What do you expect of factory cooler, it`s free and do a good job if you don`t temper with oc.
did you see the intel stock cooler?
@@keyrix8687 Only few times every single day, i repair pc`s almost 20 years...
Thanks for the video. After you mount the cooler you can unscrew the fan and rotate it so the AMD logo is on top.
You can
Thank's. This is the first video that helped me understand that I needed that bottom plate to provide standoffs to attach the heatsink/cooler
Yes it's easy to overlook it! The plate is pretty important!
Outstanding. Someone else spent 10 minutes talking about stuff that was unimportant to the task at hand.
That's why I made it! Obviously they were trying to pad it out to get more ad revenue ;-D
I just want to get the information across as quickly as possible that seems to be what people want!
Dude. Thank you for doing this, and skipping the muddied stuff and going straight to the how-to
Not a problem I watched a few "super long padded out" videos and hence I made this one I can't stand super long videos waffling on, glad it helped!
Thanks alot, only video that made me realise i actually had to apply pressure 😂 as a newbie i was confused
Lol glad it worked
@@MrBazReviews Lmao been a while since I built the PC I was talking about back then
@@PenguDZN Catching up with comments! Sorry for the delay!
@@PenguDZN Catching up with comments! Sorry for the delay!
@@MrBazReviews Haha no problem :)
Thank you! I was confused about whether I needed some standoff or something when I removed the plastic brackets. Much appreciated!
No worries! All you need is to hold the back plate in place (or use a book etc)
It's not the best design they ever made, the brackets being there confuses a lot of people.
Took me waaaaaaay too long to realize the bracket fell off and I was screwing into nothing, even though you mentioned that could happen. Good video!
Design could be improved no question
The metal plate thing that holds the CPU cooler was flaying around behind the motherboard, I was sweating for 5 minutes wondering why the the cooler won't screw in 😂. I had to hold the plate with one hand and screw the cooler with the other.
This figured out my problem. I sat there for 20 minutes trying to figure out what was wrong and a guy with a Bowser profile picture saves my life.
Thank you
Yup it's kinda simple
that happened to me too😂😂😂
Bruh when i first touched that AMD cooler i was like bruh it feels like its built so well and it felt big no homo
Lol
um what
@@benskyddd Good question maybe he's had a few too many somethings ;-D
@@MrBazReviews NOOOOOO NOOOOOOOO NOT THAT WAY I SAID NO HOMO LOL
DoozeschanYT your search history tells me otherwise
Thanks.... My back plate fell out and it took me a minute to realize that when I was reapplying thermal paste
Not a problem
Holy fuck it’s refreshing to see an in depth video that isn’t 10 minutes long blabbering on about how to put in the cpu
They do that to add more adverts, personally I can't stand padded out videos so I just get on with it ;-D
Thank you, I had to use a translator for the ''spring loaded'' thing, that's an important point I didn't think about.
Thanks
Thanks a bunch man, i was having some real trouble with this section of the build. You really helped me
No problem 👍 Glad it was useful for you -thanks for the comment appreciate it
Build my first pc yesterday, used your video for the cpu, many thanks, quick, precise, concise, to the point, very much appreciated
Not a problem shorter is better to me! Glad it helped
Thanks for not going on for 20 minutes really helpful
No problem I can't stand padded out videos either!
Posting my personal issue/solution: I was having difficulty reinstalling the CPU cooler after taking it off because the spring screws would not reach down far enough to contact the threads. I thought I wasn't applying enough pressure to reattach the spring screws, but it turns out that the backplate on the reverse of the motherboard (that has the contact points for the spring screws) had fallen off & out of reach. Duh.
It's OK we all make mistakes, yes the back plate can be tricky I just use a book to hold it in place
Thanks! This was super helpful because this is my first time building my pc and I thought I was doing something wrong, dang spring
Yes it's not too obvious maybe they could have done an easier way to fit it, but glad it helped you
For a guy who knows very little about hardware, and software for that matter, this is amazing stuff. All of the "stuff" that goes into a computer is just mind boggling!
It looks worse than it is
If only you knew how much you helped me, MY DUMBASS DIDNT KNOW THE BACKPLATE NEEDED TO BE THERE, THE SCREWS WOULDNT FIT I WAS SO MAD IVE WASTED 5 HOURS!!!! THANK YOUUUUUUU
No worries we all miss the obvious at some point done it plenty of times!
Can you pleas explain this to me. Im so confused
@@enriquem9213 that backplate you saw fall off the motherboard needs to be held there when you screw in the cooler
Thanks i forgot the bracket so i was really confused
Most do!
Right to the point and we'll explained. Very useful. Thank you
Thanks, not a fan of padded long rambling videos hence I made this one ;-D
Best video. Sorted me out by saying to push hard on the screws! Helped a ton
No worries glad it helped
@@MrBazReviews I was screwing and screwing for infinity 😂
Very Useful. Was much better than trying to decipher the drawings in the Motherboard manual.
Glad it helped short, simple and no fluffing around here ;-D
Thanks I just was wondering how to do it I doing it now :)
No worries thought it might be useful to see!
:)
thaks dude your safe my pc life
No worries
thank you so much i just realized that the backplate fell off and i forgot to put it on. For any dumbo like me watching make sure when you screw in the fan that there is a plate holding it at the back
It happens no problemo!
I had to put a block in the back to press the plate into the board while screwing down on the fan. Thanks for the video.
Not a problem!
Thank you, simple and to the point! Update, after taking your advice I had mine together in just about a minute. Thank you again!
What happened to to the motherboard backside bracket, did you remove it or kept it for the stock cooler?
Asking cuz i bought an used x570 prime-p and had no backside bracket , pretty sure i can't install the stock cooler without it.
You need the bracket as shown in the video the cooler screws into it
@@MrBazReviews i fucking knew it, thanks for reply.
well thanks for not giving a 10 minute intro and also the explanation is very clear great job
I can't stand padded out videos on things like this so I did this short one!
omg thank you so much. i wasted half an hour trying to fit in the cooler
Not a problem glad it got sorted
My screws for the cooler aren't low enough to touch the bottom of the mobo :(
Edit: I figured it out, but I have no idea what I did lol it was a while ago
Another Edit: I remember, it turns out there wasn't the baseplate on the back, it was freely roaming around my PC instead of screwed in lol
yea ikr have experience it also in my case i broke the metal spring of the screw so it will go down freely. but dont do this
I had to put quite a bit of pressure on mine in order for it to get seated properly. It took like 30 mins of going easy on it before I snapped and went all in lol.
Lol
Does the backplate come with the cpu or the motherboard??
Comes pre-fitted to board
Mr Baz Reviews so do you need to screw in the cpu then add the backplate?
had cold sweat installing this, there is a bow in the back of my motherboard, a very tight fit.
That's not right shouldn't bow out the board, re-attach it, the back plate should be flat it just screws into that.
@@MrBazReviews the backplate is flat. it's the motherboard that's bowed lol. ordering an aio, this stock cooler is giving me 58 degrees idle.
thank you, ive been building a pac and i needed a tutorial on the cpu cooler installation, this helped.
Not a problem glad it helped you saves a bit of time hopefully!
when i screw it in one side just goes up and i cant screw the other side
Make sure it's on a flat surface shouldn't have a problem or get someone to hold the backplate whilst you screw it up. Just slightly screw one, then go to the next one rather than screwing one in fully
that because you screwed one side too much it stayed at air and required too much pressure right.
Screw one screw in just until it is entered and turning, then start on the opposite corner to ensure the component is going on evenly. Once you have all screws entered tighten one then opposite corner. Work it in evenly until all screws are secure.
Haha, I had this issue and it took me over an hour and thirty minutes to get it seated properly. PAIN IN THE BUTT.

Thanks
Thank you for this straight to the point guide. Subscribed!
Appreciate that I'm not into the overly long padded out how to videos some have done! No need for 10mins of chat lol!
Thanks Mr Baz for your succinct and to the point instruction. Very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
What motherboard was used in this video?
It's the Gigabyte GA-A320M-S2H
a short and sweet video.. i wish more youtubers does that same thing
Not sure how some made long videos on this, kinda hard to do... ad revenue greed I think ;-D
Thanks for the comment I like to the point videos!
Thank you so much, my cpu fan just fell down when I was playing and I didt know how to but it back so thank you so mutch
Not a problem glad it was useful for you
@@MrBazReviewsp
i
OMG dude. THANK YOU!! Saved me a ton of headache.
No problem
Thank you for the quick video got right to the point great for being right in the middle of a build
No problem 👍 It's best to get on with it I think! No need for a 10 minute video! Thanks for the comment
Quick and to the point covering everything. Thank you sir.
Glad it helped
I recently made my ryzen build all good but I wanted to take this comment so I can thank you for reacting to every comment!
Here is your internet ‘you’re a legend!’ Award ^^
It's not a problem I try to hep people as much as I can, big channels maybe they have too many comments or can't be bothered, but for me it's important to acknowledge people if I can
Thanks for reminding me about the back plate.
No problem easy to forget
I bought my mobo "new" from a local famous store from my city but it didn't have the backplates... Do you think i can get a refund or a change for a mobo from the same model but with the backplates?
Take it back no backplate how are you supposed to use it?
thanks for showing the back of the motherboard.
No problem it's quite important to show it!
Brilliant, this really helped me and straight to the point.
Thanks it's best to get on with it I think!
Very helpful and concise video even amd official channel cannot make a competent instruction video
Yes strange isn't it! Thanks for the commment
Thank you! I was apparently installing mine correctly but I just had to be sure. I couldn't get two of the four cooler screws from my Ryzen 5 into my Asus motherboard, turns out I just needed to really really REALLY push them together while turning the screw. Here's hoping it works lol.
Just keep the backplate in place when screwing it up use a book or get someone to hold it
@@MrBazReviews I mentioned I had done it, so I'm set now lol. Thanks though
Thabks really save me a lot of time. Quick...fast... informative!
Glad it helped!
Very helpful thanks a lot for sharing!
No problem
Short and clear, thank you very much.
Glad you liked it!
Thank you! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! I was an idiot and forgot about the backplate.
No problem happens to the best of us at times!
Not to worry, I've forgotten that more than once!
I cant find mine fuck. I wonderhow i even screwed it in 2 years ago. Now i cant anymore
I keep trying over and over but I can’t get the screws in. They just won’t go down no matter how much pressure I put on them
Try reverse thread first
Quick video to show CPU installation. Thank you for this video brother.
All glory to God. Amen!
You're welcome!
You're welcome!
Best short explanation eva!
Thanks I like to keep it short and on point!
Great and extremely helpful video, thank you!
You're very welcome! THANKS
Thanks ! I messed up after i unscrewd the old COOLER because that backplate fell off into the pc ... luckily i can just unscrew the back of the tower easily and hold that plate with my hand or something and i can put the new cooler. XD
It has happened to many before!
Thank you so much!! I recently built my own custom pc and my fan fell out 20 minutes ago😅 Now I know what the problem is...
No problem!
Thanks, man! After watching your video, I ditched my over-cautiousness and got two other screws all the way in for the CPU. Hopefully, I won't suffer the heating problem with the Ryzen 5 3600 again. (I experienced it only once right after mounting it)
I know some of the boards were pushing the voltage a bit high on the new Ryzens, so might be worth checking for a BIOS update on the mobo. If you still have heat issues maybe re grease it with premium compound, or third party ones the Artic series is pretty good and not expensive. They do tend to run hotter than the 1/2 gen Ryzens, but some were running way hotter so try the BIOS route if you have problems first
@@MrBazReviews Right on, always a good idea to get things up-to-date. Everything runs fine on my ROG Strix B450-F Gaming, even through a modern game on high settings, for now.
I didn't knew about the back plate. Holy crap. Thought this heatsink is fucked because i cant screw it in the cpu anymore. Thanks baz!
Lol no problemo!
Very useful, thanks. 👍
No problem!
great tutorial, straight to the point, thank you :)
Not a problem thanks
I can’t believe this was made 5 years ago and am5 only came out a few months ago
Because the AM4 and AM5 boards use the same method to attach the CPU, the only difference is the CPU doesn't have pins on the AM5 boards, the rest is identical. I guess AMD did it so more CPU coolers can be used, without changing the design. Lucky for me too I suppose!
I made my build and used it for 4h+ and at night when i was sleeping I just thought did i screwed the fan to tight 🤣🤣 so here i am
Lol if it's not on properly nothing bad happens the CPU will throttle down
thanks for the video. i was really confused about those black plastic bracket things on the motherboard and was wondering if they can be removed or if i have to buy new cpu cooler
They're just there mostly for holding the back plate in place, most third party coolers have their own fitting just like the AMD one
Phenomenal video, just what i needed, thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
short and good videos like this are amazing
Thanks I really hate padded out videos and decided to make one that just got on with it!
Don't know how some manage to make a 10+ minute video on this but hey I won't! ;-)
I literally cried trying to install this damn thing. LOL
It does seem to freak a few people out perhaps they could have done a better job on the design ;-D
Hey man, first of all thank you for the tutorial. I've recently upgraded to 5600G and so far the performance's been really good.
But may I ask you a question? My Wraith Stealth cooler does not have the copper circle block like yours. And when I tried searching for the Wraith Spire shown, almost every listing does not have copper thingies also. Is this just the updated 'cheaper' design or something? Because I also notice that the temp's going crazy, like 70-80C when gaming using it.
Thank you
Later ones have aluminium only no copper core (some higher end ones still do)
That CPU has the GPU built in, so temps are a bit higher 70-80C when gaming isn't unusual, the max. temp is 95 degrees. You could try a better thermal paste Arctic MX range is pretty good 4/5/6 etc. That could knock 4-5 degrees off. I wouldn't be worried about the temps on that CPU
@@MrBazReviews Thank you very much for the quick reply! I already use MX-4 as the paste, although the number still worries me a bit. I think I'll invest in a budget tower later, but nice to hear that it shouldn't be a cause for concern.
Thanks I know how to take it off but thanks to the old thermal paste it had dried onto the cpu and was stuck I’m amazed the cpu dident over heat
I usually heat up the CPU before removing (ie stress it a bit then power off) makes it easier. Sometimes paste can harden it shouldn't but it can
Thanks for this video. To the point!
I try to get on with it! Nothing worse than a padded out video!
Perfect. No fluffing about.
Best way really!
Yes it was useful, thank you.
Straight to point, good deal.
Best way no need for 10 minute video!
Straight to the F' point. Thank you!
Yeah I'm not a fan of the 10+ min videos on this ;-D No need at all
Thank you Sir.
I have one question, is the bottom of the fan supposed to be touching the processor? The sticky heat-shrink is all over the top of my processor. Is that the way it should be or did I do something wrong? Thanks for the straight to the point video!
The thermal paste has to be there to transfer heat from the CPU to the aluminium heatsink, you honestly just put it over it, screw it up and that's it (attach fan header to CPU header on board). The fan is screwed to the heatsink there is no need to do anything to it
the springs man, the springs
They work fine, hold the backplate in place and screw the cooler down
My screws won’t go in no matter how much pressure I apply, any help?
Turn anti clockwise first then you should feel them drop into the thread
Mr Baz Reviews Wow! Thanks so much for your reply even on a year and a half old video! I found out that my problem was that the backplate had fallen down from when I unscrewed the fan earlier to change CPU’s. Thanks for the informative video, however,
This video just saved my life got stuck at this exact point 😂 but question, the clips you removed from the board does that fan not screw into those? Or just straight into the mobo?
No cooler screws directly into back plate the clips are of no use with the stock cooler
Mr Baz Reviews yeh thats what i did, i just followed your vid step by step which was a god send brilliant video and the only reason i got it done because the instructions were diabolical so thank you 👍🏻
Is there like a sticker or something on the thermal paste that you need to remove before installing or just put it down on cpu and that's it?
Paste is already on the stock cooler so just screw it in
@@MrBazReviews okay thx i already did but then i was reading something on reddit and got scared i fucked it up
@@synth11
That's the case with the after market cooler . they came with a piece of plastic covering the part that make contact with the cpu. you need to remove that and apply thermal paste on the cpu then install the cooler
Needing help
So I just got my B450 board today in the mail and all but one of the screws for the backplate come out! For some reason my screwdriver cannot untighten it but it's the same tip!
It screws into plastic so other than the thread being off, try using more force without pressuring the board.
thanks i forgot the bracket and if i didnt watch this video i would have never have done it
No problem
